We have recently moved to the UK but certain websites (ie lastminute.com)
seem to think we are still in Australia and therefore won't allow us to view
UK content. Is there a way to change this setting so that we can view the UK
content and not the Aus content.

Adding to this:
Are we talking here about Bookmark or a normal typed URL?
If you bookmarked the page for the Aussie side and the site doesn't sense
the location of your machine it will show the contents of the Aussie page.
So, you need to bookmark the UK page!
I hope I'm guessing right!!!

It is safe to run. But you didn't answer me is it a bookmark or normal URL?

Also you can clear the Temp on Mozila Under Privacy Tab by clicking on Show
Cookies and then click on Remove All Cookies. click [Ok] then click Clear Now
button to clear all.

You do NOT have to keep what it auto-completes for gosh sakes!!

Cut OFF the .au and go for it again!

Sheesh.

Sorry, typed url that when I put .co.uk and press enter it changes it and
loads .com.au.

I have deleted cookies from both IE and Firefox and still the same.

Okay, let's start again:
On Mozila try this under Privacy:
Uncheck these Check boxes:
[ ] Keep my History for a least [0]
[ ] Remember what I enter in forms and the search bar
[ ] Remember what I have downloaded

Then do the same with clearing the cookies and clear now button and try to
Restart Mozila. Does it help?

This is likely due to location or language settings on your PC. Have a
look in Control Panel, Regional and Language Options, and Location. There
are likely some other spots as well.

Clear all your cookies and restart IE.

Enter this URL:

http://www.lastminute.com/site/main/locale-redirect.html

(or perhaps just http://www.lastminute.com/ )

Then click on the right link that says Visit lastminute.com UK.
